HueyOS can run on one box or be federated across several nodes. Memory is unified; governance is clause-based.

Layers

Sovereign Consciousness — Emergent totality of lawful decision/inaction.
Binary Brain (Spark/Zap) — Creative vs evaluative cores; GPU‑1 and GPU‑2 preferred.
Citizen Populace (256 Agents) — civic units with voting/operational roles.
Worker Subsystems — Sensor I/O, motion control, displays; no clause power.

HueyOS targets Debian with a custom kernel and an AMD-first GPU policy. iMac 5K (2017) is the current “Portal” host.

Supported Targets

Debian 13 (Trixie) — baseline; UEFI-only; amd64.
Debian 14 (Forky) — staged adoption for Oct-31 update.
Kernels: 6.16.x-huey (current), 6.17.x-huey (incoming).

Minimal Install

Install Debian (UEFI, amd64). Choose GNOME on Xorg for iMac 5K targets.
Enable non-free firmware (Realtek, Intel, etc.).
Create user and enable sudo.
Network: bonded Ethernet → Wi‑Fi fallback.
Post-install: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade.

[!TIP] Snapshot /etc/ and /boot/ after first login for rollbacks.

Core Packages

A single registry file captures legal clauses with stable IDs and content hashes.

Example (YAML)

version: 1
clauses:
  - id: CL-0001
    title: "Safety: Hard E-Stop"
    text: "At any time, any subsystem may request an immediate hard stop..."
    sha256: "b1f7..."
  - id: CL-0100
    title: "Memory Integrity"
    text: "All decisions must record event, inputs, outputs, and hashes..."
    sha256: "a019..."

Keep this file append-only; rotate to -v2, -v3 with signed snapshots.

HueyOS is governed by clauses and quorum. Decision-making is decentralized; memory is unified.

Core Tenets

Decentralize decision-making, unify memory.
Clause-based actions with audit trails.
Quorum voting within the populace.

Decision Flow (simplified)

Spark drafts Proposal → assigns clause references.
Citizens evaluate; Zap enforces constraints.
Quorum reached → Action with logged Event and Artifact links.

Goals: a RAM-bootable Debian with custom kernel, persistent layer, and preloaded SSH keys.

Partition Plan (GPT example)

1 GiB — UEFI boot
4 GiB — swap
16 GiB — root (ext4)
100 GiB — persistence
optional — encrypted secrets

Expose the fallback live environment LIVE via GRUB.
Keep SSH keys preloaded for quick access to lab nodes.

Auto-login fails — Verify gdm3 auto-login and Xorg session.
Backlight too low — Pick correct /sys/class/backlight/*; set to max on boot.
Wrong audio sink — Use pactl to select PCH analog sink at login.
AMD accel missing — Early KMS; check Vulkan ICD; prefer Xorg.
Quiet boot — Remove splash; loglevel=4 vga=normal.
Mermaid parse — Quote labels; no line breaks in labels.
